The assessment themes look at topics that cut across many stages of the lifecycle. If you have an academic or staff development role, you may find that this is the most helpful route into the resources for you.

For each theme we discuss why it is important, what are the common problems and how applying technology might help. We also relate each theme back to the different stages of the lifecycle so you can see exactly what you need to be thinking about and doing at each stage of the process.

We point to case studies of good practice and a range of free tools that you can use and adapt in your own context.
